ance was something unprecedented,
The scenes along the course from the
start to the finish were very striking. The
water was in excellent condition.
At 7:.!s word was given and both crews
caught water very quickly, Harvard gain
ing slight advantage. Both crews
started at Sc stroke, but after the first
minute dropped to 33 and "a. Harvard
gradually drew away from Yale,
and in the first eighth Of a mile

Harvard was pulling "a and 35. As they
peared the navy yard Yale began to forge
ahead and showed 20 feet of clear water
between the boats. Up to this time the
race had been one of the most
hotly contested that was ever rowed

| cen'-iurners Dying Statement.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Juty ALBERT Tur
ner, one OF the negro murderers of Jennie
Bowman, was swung into eternity from
the gallows in the county jail yard at s:3C
o'clock this morning.
de was strangled to death, the body be.
ing cut down about twenty minutes after
the trap was sprung. Only fifty people
were admitted to the yard, but about Q, 900
assembled in the vicinity of the place as
early as 4:3O o'clock.
During the prayer which Immediately
preceded the fail of the trap Turner gazed
at the crowd about him unconcernedly,
and went to his death without any evil
dence of fear. His dying statement, which
follows, is fiat contradiction of what he
has insisted upon all along, and of state
mont made in the Jail last night before four
witnesses. 1t exculpates Patterson, his
accomplice in the murder, who is also sem
fenced to hang, but whose appeal has not
yet been heard by the Court Of Appeals.
He said: Now, gentlemen and friends,
| hope you all take warning who see me.
l hope not another one of you will ever
walk on the scaffold
"And' now, friends, there is a man in
prison who robbed the street car. l want
him turned free.
"Aud, gentlemen, want all of you to
hear what have got TO say. / am going
to die with an honest heart and bring no
one to the gallOws. ! am going to die
alone. Free the man Patterson. The man
was not with nae. That is all | have got
to say. am willing to die now"
Turner held levee in the Jail several
days, charging curious visitors to the Jail
five cents for look Of 10 seconds and
calling to them 10 pass on and come up in
regular side-shOw style. He collected a
sum of money, which will be
used in burying him. On one of these
days the doomed man was peeriug through
the bars across his window and, catching
sight of his sister in the crowd, he said:
You look here, sister, want big funeral
Friday, and you want to see that there is
no disappointment about it.
$50 on, Albert" the woman answered,
how is gwine to get you up big funeral
when hain't got no money!"
